Do you think your lot may have come from a watch repairman? And are the sizes of the discs about the size of watches? If so... my suspicion is that those might be dies for a press to close the case:

Yes, its possible they came from a watch repairman. They are smaller than the watches.
I was going to list them separately if they were worth something. Otherwise I'll just throw them in with the cases.

Possibly for pressing the crystal into the case?

I don't think those are pocket watch parts. Nor do I think that they are the pieces used to secure crystals. I think that they're wristwatch parts. Looks like possibly the bottom plate that holds a movement, likely quartz.

that could be as there are different sizes and some are very small and some are oval.

Perhaps you should go to a shop where they repair watches, and ask them. I bet they would know what you have.
